This was the best stocked condo that we have ever stayed in. Susan had everything you would ever need there. Never stayed anywhere that had beach towels, chairs, etc. there for you to use. Highly recommend.

Beach view was beautiful. Being a little further from the beach, however the closest you can be at that point on the island, allows you to see more of it. The oil rigs offshore didn’t bother me and were interesting especially with their dim lights at night. The outdoor pool was large and fun for the family as well as the indoor pool. Both were comfortably heated. Getting around the property was easy and the walk to the beach was beautiful and enjoyable.

Second Stay

We had a wonderful trip to Dauphin Island. This was our second time to stay in Susan’s condo. Great communication before, during, and after the trip. The condo is stocked nicely with all the items you would need from home for kitchen and the beach. When we go back we will stay here again!

Relaxing vacation on Dauphin Island

I think that this is the most relaxing vacation that we have taken in quite a while. The condo was probably the best we have ever stayed in at the beach. Everything was great, from the early available check-in to the day that we checked out. The condo was well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items and having beach towels and beach supplies (chairs, umbrellas, and a cart to haul it in) was a great plus! The owner was responsive and called to make sure everything was going ok. I would definitely stay here again and would tell all of my family and friends about the property.

Perfect condo for family with teenagers

Susan was helpful from the get-go. The condo was large enough for our family of 3 teenager boys. The condo had all the beach gear needed including towels. My favorite spot was the comfy patio furniture on the balcony where I drank my coffee and watched the evening storm.

The condo and all the amenities were wonderful. The owner kept in touch and always answered any questions in a timely manner. The bedroom set up was perfect for my family. The outdoor pool was large enough to accommodate guests (even though some of the children in the pool seemed to need more parent supervision). Overall, a great experience!

Remember to bring groceries with you. The Ship & Store has expensive basic items but no chain groceries close by. The sunsets are incredible. The time of year we visited the best sunset was from the West beach. The condo was as advertised with both an indoor and outdoor pool. It had some lovely extras like a cart, umbrella, and a few beach items. Easy access keypad but extra security when you got inside. You can park right outside the door.

Excellent stay

We thoroughly enjoyed this property and working with Susan. The condo was beautiful and everything in working order. The kitchen had everything we needed and I was so appreciative of that. Also, Susan was wonderful to work with - she provided great information and helpful tips for things to do. We will definitely keep this condo in mind should we have the chance to return, which we would love to do.

Our hosts were excellent communicators and very helpful with our questions about the area. As soon as we secured our reservation, they were sending us emails about things we needed to know about the condo and local attractions. They respond to texts very quickly. We really appreciated that.We greatly enjoyed our stay here. It was my wife and I plus our four adult children. There was plenty of room for us. We did some of our own cooking while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. We always ate out on the balcony where there was a table and seating for all of us. We spent a lot of our time at the beach, which is a short walk across the dunes via a boardwalk. There is a beautiful walk along the shore to the east that leads to a small inlet where there are many birds - it would be a great place to kayak.I highly recommend this condo. We'll be coming back.

This was our first year to come to Dauphin Island and we’d loved it! We will definitely make it a favorite for our family. Susan, our host was just a call/text away and we enjoyed her condo at Holiday Isle. Everything was awesome! It was better than described. We will definitely be coming back. !

Great spring break!

We loved our stay on Dauphin Island. Susan was able to answer all our questions and the island was a perfect getaway. We enjoyed the beach and the quiet town. We would love to go back. We can't stop thinking about how much we enjoyed it. The condo was a great set up for us with children ages 17, 13, 13, and 11. The pools were great and we were right on the beach. I'd book it every year if I could.
